*flails* so I think this may be my best piece yet...I am SUPER happy how this turned out. It was quite a process. If you look at the original horse photo, take notice that the horse was was a thin looking bay, more like a thoroughbred build. Also notice that it's ears are pricked forward. Well, I had already had the background picked out for this picture before choosing the horse that I wanted to fit with the image...and so when I saw the bay horse jumping over the obstacle in the original picture, I decided to take a risk and see what I could come up with. I am very pleased with the result, considering how different the finished product looks from the original horse. The inspiration for this piece comes from this character's name, Purgatory. Which when simplified means in between Heaven and Hell. I wanted a bulky black horse descending the stairs to Hell, because Purgatory is definately a dark character, and I wanted to portray that in this image. I added ears that pinned back, added some bulk to the legs, chest, and hooves, added feathers to the fetlocks, and of course a pretty flowing main and tail, oh and of course the glowering red eyes and blood dripping from his mouth.
